Love this book. Have never read Emily the Strange before but loved it! Great for all ages, no cussing at all, no sexual themes, just a fun interesting mystery to read! And the pictures and drawings that Emily does throughout the book are awesome as well! Can't wait for the next one!

Emily the Strange has been all over t-shirts, comics, stickers, and more...but now she's ready to star in this, her very own novel!

One problem, though. She has amnesia and has no idea who she is and why she's in some strange town called Blackrock.

While exploring the town, she comes across the El Dungeon and its barista, Raven; four wandering black cats; and an old alley out back of the shop. Emily adopts all these places as her new home and family, while at the same time trying to figure out what is going on!

It isn't until she's mistaken as Molly Merriweather that Emily finally figures out a legitimate plan on how to end this whole fiasco, and suddenly she's on her way to finding out the mystery behind herself and this strange town that is even weirder than she first thought.

THE LOST DAYS is one crazy book, that's for sure, but it's also a lot of fun. Readers need to lose their belief in reality and just go along for the ride with Emily and her cast of companions. Most things in this book aren't believable, but that's simply part of its quirky charm.

As the novel is Emily's notebook, you'll find drawings and "photos" throughout it, which add to the fun of reading this book. I for one can't wait for more Emily adventures!
